Chapter 87: Training The Soul? (1/2)

[Day 66]

Today, as I trained Phantom Body, I managed to create a more visible tentacle using my soul.

I extended it into an Ice Fork and tried to lift it with it.

But… it went right through it.

Just as I thought, and I had experimented earlier, Phantom Body manifestations are not really physical, I can't touch any physical matter with them.

This a dilemma, I wanted extra limbs!

My ultimate goal was to get extra phantom limbs in the form of human hands to handle utensils, grab things swifter, and more.

But what can I do with it? I need to learn a way to make it physical…

As I ponder how to make it physical, I also begin to think about how to strengthen my soul and that of Benladann.

I had thought about one thing… What if I infuse mana directly into her soul through my Phantom Body? I have discovered that I can infuse it with mana and make something of a mana thread.

Maybe the secret of Soul Cultivation is putting one's soul into work by infusing Mana into it? Just like Mana Core Cultivation.

But would mana simply work? There is also the thing about damaging the soul and regenerating it, but I am afraid that her soul might not be similar to mine in means of regeneration, so perhaps she might need to develop way more Mana Pool first.

Another option is… by eating souls.

But how can I even eat a soul? I have no idea.

How can I find a soul? I can't see any floating around either, I cannot see them yet.

But I think I might be able to develop it thanks to the Supernatural Senses Ability on my Immortal Body Unique Skill.

There's a lot of things piled up to do, a big list.

So let's begin by training, I've been training physically with Benladann since this morning, she has become stronger and burlier now, and can take on my hits if I don't go serious. She was even able to block my weakest Spear Techniques, Spear Tail with her Ice Dragon Shield, the one I crafted for her using my scales, wrapped with super-hard ice threads, and also I added some more ice inside.

CLASH!

My spear-tipped tail clashes against the scale shield Benladann holds, as she infuses mana into it and does what I call ”Shield Technique” where a Warrior infuses Mana into their shield to make it tougher and heavier.

Of course this only works with magic shields that can absorb and harbor mana, but of course, the one I've crafted obviously can do that without breaking a sweat!

”Ah!”

Benladann resists my powerful spear tail attack, as she steps back a little bit, glaring at me with resolve.

”That's a good look on your eyes! Now come!” I said as I provoked Benladann so she can get more of her rage out, something she needs to learn for whenever she will have to fight that thing again.

”HYA! Axe Slash!”

SLASH!

CLASH!

Benladann's axe clashes against my tail, the impact and piercing power is strong enough to actually bend the first layer of my scales, and even reach the second layer and partially bend the third and last layer of scales, impressive!

But…

”Not enough!”

CLASH!

I raise my tail and hit her axe again, throwing Benladann over the soft snow!

Poof!

”Ah…!”
